TEDxBratislava 2019

Even people with totally different opinions must find a value intersection to be able to listen and talk together. Therefore, on July 5, we will be looking for a common denominator in the New Building of the Slovak National Theater. Come and experience 16 unique performances, a number of original surprises and one inspiring day that will change your perspective for the rest of the year. It will be festive.

About event

Can you remember how to count 2/3 and 3/4? Only by finding a common denominator. Until you have it, you simply won’t get any result. Even people with very different opinions must find a value intersection to be able to listen and talk at all. Common ground, common language, common denominator. And if they do find it, only then it is possible for them search for constructive solutions and a result behind the equality sign. Because the common denominator is always there, only sometimes it takes longer to find it.
